Supergirl Movie in the Making

Warner Bros and DC Entertainment are in the early stages of a Supergirl movie. The character has been played by Melissa Benoist and is executive produced by Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Robert Rovner and Jessica Queller, and they have hired 22 Jump Street writer Oren Uziel to pen the script.

The launch of Supergirl comes eight months after Warner Bros. promoted Walter Hamada to oversee its comic book movies, a month after the studio decided to replace Jon Berg and Geoff Johns as the heads of the DC movies.

British actor Henry Cavill has played Superman in 2013’s Man of Steel, 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and 2017’s Justice League.

Uziel’s credits include Mortal Kombat, The Cloverfield Paradox, and Sonic the Hedgehog. He also directed and wrote Shimmer Lake for Netflix. Uziel is repped by WME and Writ Large.
